Event Description

Medtronic received information regarding a navigation system being used during an olif procedure.It was reported that the physique of the patient was good, and a concave incision was used, so it was difficult to develop.After dissecting the l3 and l4 intervertebral disc under the navigation, the trial was inserted.This caused a free run emg to appear in the monitoring, and both mep and sep began to fall.As a result, the procedure changed to a plif from the posterior side instead of the anterior side.The patient was paralyzed in both lower limbs.There was a delay of less than an hour.
